Hello, hello!

A question about Saracen frames with pierced seat tubes - which frames were built like this, was it the high end ones, low end or across the board? Is there any structural reason why you'd build a frame like this or was it just for looks? Just curious.

Tinkety tonk!
 
Neilll, is that a 91 frame? If so that sort of confirms that the green one I have is a 90. Just for the record, it too has the pierced tube.
 
From what i found trying to ID my frame, a lot of the '93 frames had pierced tubes. I believe it was just for looks.

I eventually decided mine was a '93 Killi flyer (prestige tubes, Ritchey dropouts)
